Isaiah 45:19-21
Legacy Standard Bible
19 (A)I have not spoken in secret,
In [a]some dark land;
I did not say to the (B)seed of Jacob,
‘(C)Seek Me in [b]a formless place’;
I, Yahweh, (D)speak righteousness,
(E)Declaring things that are upright.
20 “(F)Gather yourselves and come;
Draw near together, you who have escaped from the nations;
(G)They do not know,
Who (H)carry about their graven image of wood
And (I)pray to a god who cannot save.
21 (J)Declare and draw near with your case;
Indeed, let them consult together.
(K)Who has made this heard from of old?
Who has long since declared it?
Is it not I, Yahweh?
And there is (L)no other God besides Me,
A righteous God and a (M)Savior;
There is none except Me.

New International Version
19 I have not spoken in secret,(A)
from somewhere in a land of darkness;(B)
I have not said to Jacob’s descendants,(C)
‘Seek(D) me in vain.’
I, the Lord, speak the truth;
I declare what is right.(E)
20 “Gather together(F) and come;
assemble, you fugitives from the nations.
Ignorant(G) are those who carry(H) about idols of wood,
who pray to gods that cannot save.(I)
21 Declare what is to be, present it—
let them take counsel together.
Who foretold(J) this long ago,
who declared it from the distant past?(K)
Was it not I, the Lord?
And there is no God apart from me,(L)
a righteous God(M) and a Savior;(N)
there is none but me.
